Nice arms!

Bennett68C10 · 02-24-2013, 06:58 PM

Nice arms buck

now hurry up and get those suckers installed.

C10_ustacould · 02-24-2013, 07:47 PM

Well, the test drive went okay but there was a glitch. The pads were rubbing on the "hat" portion of the rotor. Luckily my test drive was to a friends house so we pulled the wheels and calipers off and ground the backing plates on the pads for clearance. Another test drive and the ride home went well. Here is a pic of the groove the pad had started to make.

I am going to have to collect up some more parts first, mainly lower ball joints a new sway bar. Shouldn't be too awful long.

Check Rockauto for the ball joints, they were half of the price of the local parts stores.

I think you are spot on with that suggestion Rob, Thanks! You don't happen to have a sway bar that will work with PB arms do ya?

Get an Addco bar.
Not sure on a source,... but Porterbuilt sells them.
Stock and a narrowed version for the Dropmember.

Thanks for the link Keith!

**lolife99** · 02-24-2013, 08:47 PM

I don't know what difference there would be.
One is listed as 73-87.
Both are 1-1/8".
Buy the cheaper one!

Thanks, I am trying my best to build a solid driver. You never know, when Rob gets his LS swap done we may just swing down your way for a visit!

shearjs · 02-25-2013, 06:22 PM

Love the truck! This is one of my favorites. If you don't mind me asking, what did you use for the shift linkage from column to tranny?

shawno72 · 02-25-2013, 07:18 PM

Very nice!!

PBFAB.COM · 02-25-2013, 09:32 PM

Thanks Buck. I just installed the column cable shift from Lokar last weekend but had a little trouble getting things dialed in. Does your shift indicator on your column match up pretty well to the actual gear that you're in? Mine seems to be off a bit with the cable, but it may just need more adjusting. Or maybe I should just get the solid linkage as you did. Thanks.

No, mine is only correct in Park and Drive. I think I could get it pretty close by adjusting where the pushrod attaches to arm on the transmission, but I am just not that worried about it. Maybe someday i'll spend some time on it.

I saw where a guy lengthened the arm on the column to get his to be in the correct position on the indicator, apparently it works, however I don't know if there is a "correct" way to do it and if that's it or not, that's up to the engineers to argue over.

C10_ustacould · 02-27-2013, 08:45 AM

If you look at the lever that bolts to the shaft on the transmission you'll see it's sloted allowing the distance from the fulcrum (pivot point) to increase or decrease. I think if I spend some time tinkering with this adjustment I could get the shift indicator to be fairly accurate. But for know park and drive will do.

OBTW, LOKAR sells a longer rod if the one you have doesn't work. Are you ready to pull a motor Saturday?????

C10_ustacould · 02-27-2013, 09:59 AM

Yes I am! Gonna send you a PM, check your inbox.
